Going Once Lyrics - To The Teeth - Ani Difranco

Going once, going twice 

Sold to the girl 

Who ignored all the advice 

Of all the people who knew her better 

She just stood there 

On the front porch 

Waiting for her will 

To come and get here 

She was packed 

She had a suitcase 

Full of noble intentions 

She had a map 

And a straight face 

Hell bent on reinvention 

And she was ready 

For the lonely 

She was in it for 

It only 

Going once, going twice 

Down the road less taken 

With her diary and her WD40 

And her swiss army knife 

And her beer 

And there was always 

Someone there to say 

Why don't you just stay 

And hang your hat here 

But she was packed 

She had a suitcase 

Full of bungles and near misses 

And she was swinging 

Through a jungle 

Of last calls and first kisses 

And she was learning 

About please 

And huge humilities 

Then one day she looked around her 

And everything up til then was showing 

And she wondered how did I get here 

Without even knowing where I was going? 

Now there's no getting out of this 

And there is no going back 

And it all seems so odd sometimes 

And the odds all seem stacked 

Going once, going twice 

Sold to the girl 

Who ignored all the advice 

Of all the people who knew her better 

She just stood there 

On the front porch 

Waiting for her will 

To come and get here 

She was packed 

She had a suitcase 

Full of noble intentions 

She had a map 

And a straight face 

Hell bent on reinvention 

And she was ready 

For the lonely 

She was in it for 

It only
